Shirley hiking up to a high pass above Alpine Lake. Elephants Perch is in the background (Sept. 2012).

Southeast face of Baron Spire. The summit block is climbed via a 5.9 A0 pitch on the opposite side (Sept. 2012).

Shirley and Blondie admiring the east face of Baron Spire from a high pass near point 9769′. This is a great spot as some of Sawooths’ greatest formations are visible (E-perch, Old Smoothie, some of Monte Verita Ridge).

Blondie charging up to the pass next to point 9769′ with the Baron Lakes in the background (Sept. 2012).

Blondie taking a soak in the Upper Bead Lake…worry not – she is not soiling the water but simply sitting down on a submerged rock (we take the leave-no-trace to heart; Sept. 2012).

Fellow Oregonians (Dave, right and Chris) we ran into in our camp by the Upper Bead Lake (Sept. 2012).

In her old age, Blondie has taken to enjoying alpine lakes by lying down and falling asleep in their shallows. This is Alpine Lake in the Sawtooths of Idaho (Sept. 2012).
